For a rider, the knee is basically a lifeline. From corner entry to exit, weight transfer starts right at the knee. Avoiding surgery and targeting September is cautious, but it's the right call. Rush the comeback and reinjure it, and that's what really shortens a career. Take the time to get it right before coming back.

Looking at the calendar, the first race back after the summer break should land somewhere around late August.

He's been riding well for LCR Honda this season, so it's good news if the time out ends up being short.

Even with a September return target, riders often end up rushing back early, so that's a bit worrying.

He's actually seeing specialists in Lyon, so it seems like a setup built to prevent a rushed comeback.

At least avoiding surgery is something - guess Zarco's left knee wasn't as bad as feared.
